Question:
The questioner says: A woman intended to perform 'Umrah from Riyadh, but when she arrived in Makkah, her menstrual period came before she could perform the tawaf. What should she do regarding this 'Umrah? And is there anything required of her?
Answer:
She is required to remain in her state of ihram, avoiding the prohibitions of ihram until she becomes pure and performs the full ritual bath for menstruation, then she performs the 'Umrah: she circumambulates, walks between al-Safa and al-Marwah, and shortens her hair. The occurrence of menstruation while she is in ihram does not harm her and does not affect her ihram; her ihram is valid. However, she remains until she becomes pure and performs the full ritual bath, then she performs the 'Umrah.
